Coptostethus kundratai sp. n.

(Figs. 67, 134)

Material examined. Holotype, male: Spain: Canary Islands: “Teneriffe Canaren” ( HNHM). Diagnosis. This species is near C. globulicollis (Wollaston, 1862) , it can be separated by the larger size, ferruginous colour and by the aedeagus with very slender and elongate apices of the paramera. Description. Male (Fig 67). Entirely yellow-ferruginous covered with dense and short yellow-golden pubescence.

Frons convex between eyes, slightly impressed at anterior margin, this more or less regularly arcuate, puncturation coarse, punctures contiguous.

Antennae exceeding posterior angles of pronotum by about 2.5 antennomeres, slightly serrated from third antennomere on, second subcylindrical, more than twice longer than wide and a little shorter than third; third to tenth subtriangular, on average 2.5× longer than wide, last longer than penultimate, subellipsoidal.

Pronotum 1.1× wider than long, widest at middle, strongly convex, sides strongly arcuate, from middle regularly converging to posterior angles, latter truncate, not divergent, shortly carinate; lateral margin very fine, obsolete after middle; puncturation regularly distributed, punctures of approximately same size, deep, simple, with very short, shiny intervals.

Scutellum heart-shaped, 1.4× wider than long, emarginate at middle of base, flat, finely punctured.

Elytra 2.07× longer and slightly wider than pronotum, convex, oval, widest at middle, striae well marked distinctly punctured; interstriae subconve, finely punctured.

Wings absent.

Aedeagus as in Fig. 134 (length 1 mm).

Female unknown.

Size. Length 5.37 mm; width 2.06 mm.

Etymology. The species is dedicated to Robin Kundrata (Olomouc, Czech Republic), molecular systematist of Elateridae .
